Dark Rising Monica McGurk Book Review of the second book in the of the Archangel Prophecies series Book giveaway and amazon giveaway

 

Dark Rising Monica McGurk Book Review : A few years ago I did a book review of Dark Hope, which was the 1st installment of the Archangels Prophecies. Recently, the author Monica McGurk asked me if I would like to do a sponsored review of the next book in the series: Dark Rising. I jumped at the chance, because I could not wait to hear what how Hope Carmichael the main character’s life had progressed after her last journey, after finding out she was key to human salvation.
The 1st book covered Hopes new life and new friendship with dark stranger Michael. It explores Hope’s mark that she received on the back of her neck as a child and what does it mean? The 1st book also tells the story of Hopes quest to protect those girls thrown in to human trafficking, which takes Hope and Michael to Las Vegas to save girls caught in a ring of trafficking despair. The 1st book is setting up the story of Hope’s destine how it effects mankind. Check out my full review here

 

Dark Rising Monica McGurk Book Review

The 2nd book the story is just as wonderful detailed Hopes tale. Hope’s adventure with the Archangel Michael, her protector/ destroyer continues as they travel over Europe. McGurk continues the story with Hope traveling with the 3 archangels in their human form to Turkey looking for artifacts to aid them on their quest to open the gate. They set up in an abandon house, the tension between the Michael and Hope continues. Hope is determined to help and recover from her past injuries. She takes chances which make the angels uneasy and Michael angry. Slowly they recover clues what take them to France, then to Ireland always leery that the fallen angels are lurking ready to claim Hope for their own.
The book also covers how Hope’s Family is coping at home while searching for clues of Hopes whereabouts. Her parents learn What her neck mark means. He parents grapple with the possibility that Hope was meant for something large then herself but true greatness. The reader understands her parents longing to see their teenage daughter again, if she is alive. I love the duality of showing the other side of the heroine’s world what is fallout at home. Many young adult books avoid the plight of the parents. I love that the parents are not an after thought in McGurks writing helping to develop the plot.
As the story builds it develops into a searching and torment for the main characters. My they find out who is the savior and who is he saving. The finally chapters are riveting the love and anguish that Michael and Hope are felt by the reader. Monica McGurk twist and winds the reader up with the details of the location and stories of the Prophecy . It was a great read.

 

Dark Rising Monica McGurk Book Review

I have always loved this genera of Young Fiction, supernatural and dark love. This is the second book in the series, but unlike most 2nd books in a trilogy it is not a filler/middle book lacking or leaving too many questions open. McGurk answers questions and gives you closure on areas of the plot. This book also leaves you wanting more of the characters and anticipating the next book. It is pleasing that McGurk treats the reader as smart and does not think that love is simple and doe eyed. Love it is messy and complicated, sometimes bigger then oneself. If you are a lover of books that capture forbidden love, then the Archangels Prophecies series is for you. Check it out here:

  4. Ireland, it has a great history and legends and photos and videos of the cliffs are just amazing!

  10. Any sounds good. At first, I thought Ireland because I’ve always wanted to go to the UK, but Turkey sounds like a once in a lifetime thing, so I would choose that.

  11. I’d choose Ireland – sounds like fun and I can actually understand everyone and don’t have to try to learn a new language

  12. I would definitely love going to France! I would love to see all the sites and eat the delicious food 🙂

  13. I’d pick France for shopping and eating a lot of pastries but Turkey would be nice too for hanging out on the Black Sea.

  19. I would choose Ireland because my boyfriend loves the culture and wants nothing more than to visit there someday! It’s so beautiful – so much greenery and beautiful landscapes.

  24. Ireland, hands down.
    I sorta have an obsession with Ireland – maybe because I’ve read a lot of books located in Ireland and it seems so quaint. 🙂
    thanks!

  33. I would choose France, there is so much to experience. The food, small villages and beautiful castles. Also, Paris, the city of love! 🙂

  35. I would choose Ireland since some of my family came from this country and maybe I could visit the specific towns they came from.

  38. I am not even going to attempt to bend the truth here, I would chose France, because of the food! Plain and simple! 🙂

  39. I would choose France – I think it is romantic, great food and perfect contrast for a plot with a dark twist maybe.

  51. I would choose Turkey. I’ve heard from numerous people that it is such a beautiful country and I would love to see it for myself.

  52. i would go to ireland to eat corned beef and cabbage! also all that lush greenery is sooo pretty. would love to horseback ride there.

  53. Definitely Ireland. It’s pretty much the motherland for me. There’s so many different tours I would take, see beautiful landscapes, castles, all of it!

  54. I would choose Ireland because I am Irish. My dad went there on his honeymoon and said it was amazing.

  55. I would choose Ireland because being Irish heritage, I would love to see the countryside my ancestors lived in.

  60. I would choose France because it has always been my dream to visit. The food, the culture, the beauty… ugh. I want to go so bad! Thank you for the chance!

  62. I would choose France, even though I think French food is over rated and the French should shower more, there are a lot of amazing things to see there!

  64. I would choose Ireland because it’s so beautiful and I have always wanted to go there to tour castles.

  71. I would choose Ireland, because that’s where my husbands family is from and I would love to have the chance to visit that beautiful country.

  74. I would pick France because my daughter told me it was the most beautiful place in the world and I would love to go experience it with her!

  76. France, Ireland, or Turkey would all be fantastic places to see on vacation, but I think I’d choose Turkey. One reason is because I’ve never been there and have always wanted to go – it seems so exotic and beautiful and loaded with history from the pictures that I’ve seen

  81. I would choose Ireland. I would love to visit the old castles that are there and it is just a beautiful place!

  87. I would pick Ireland because that’s where my ancestors came from. Thanks for the chance! 🙂

  92. I would love to go to France! I took french in school so I have a little bit of knowledge and have always wanted to visit there!

  98. I’d love the chance to visit Ireland again – I was 10 when I went and didn’t appreciate it nearly as much as I think I would now!

  101. Visiting Ireland has been a dream of mine! I’ve already been to France, so that choice is out, and Turkey, I just never even thought about! I just hear beautiful things about Ireland 🙂

  109. I would choose Ireland. It’s a place I have always wanted to go. It just looks so beautiful!

  111. I would choose France because my in-laws were lucky enough to go and they loved it!

  112. I would choose Ireland. My family is Irish…but…I have never been to Ireland and would love to take my daughter and granddaughter so we could follow our roots!

  116. I think I would choose Ireland because its so beautiful and far, far away!

  122. I would choose Ireland for a vacation because I hear that it is gorgeous and im Irish 🙂

  124. As an anglophile, my natural inclination would be Ireland. It doesn’t hurt that the Irish also have the sexiest accents in the world.

  128. I would love to vacation in France! I’ve been there twice and it’s a wonderful country.
